I highly recommend this amazing documentary about Sixto Rodriguez, a brilliant guitar player, lyricist andcomposer. The story itself is fascinating, but I also found it to be an intriguing profile of a creatively giftedexistentialist. The son of hard-working but poor immigrant parents, Rodriguez dropped out of school at16 and began sharing his music in local dives (playing with his back to the audience as any good introvertwould do!) As his daughter Eva states, few people expected someone with his background to have suchgreat philosophical insights and talent.

Here’s the Rotten Tomatoes synopsis: “Searching for Sugar Man tells the incredible true story ofRodriguez, the greatest '70s rock icon who never was. Discovered in a Detroit bar in the late '60s by twocelebrated producers struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics, they recorded an album that theybelieved would secure his reputation as the greatest recording artist of his generation. In fact, the albumbombed and the singer disappeared into obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But abootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, he becamea phenomenon. The film follows the story of two South African fans who set out to find out what reallyhappened to their hero. Their investigation leads them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existingmyths about the artist known as Rodriguez.”

A study conducted by the American Physiological Society found that the desire to eat sweetened food might decline after exercise. Exercise also boosts metabolism, which helps burn calories and induces feel-good feelings. Thanks.

Thanks for giving a good amount of information about Sixto Rodriguez. It is nice to see that he has been a great musician and the news that he had suffered many hurdles in his life to be in that position is an encouragement for others.
